Chapter 133: The First Dawn Project Leader
Fang Guangqi was convinced.

He poured another glass of wine and drank it in one gulp.

"Mr. Ren, if you haven't confirmed the candidate in optics yet, I think I can recommend myself!" Fang Guangqi said in a hoarse voice.

Alcohol is a good thing, it can give people courage. Fang Guangqi is not very courageous. If everyone sits in the office neatly to discuss things during normal times when their emotions are normal, then Ren Zhong may have to spend a lot of effort to achieve this effect.

But today, there was wine, good news, and Ren Zhong also released the heavy news of the huge cost and the eight key optical equipment.

With all these reasons combined, even a middle-aged man like Fang Guangqi, who has always been a steady person, began to have his blood boiling.

"Of course, Professor Fang, the Dawn Project welcomes your joining. Your name will be remembered by future generations as the first leader of the Dawn Project." Ren Zhong poured another glass of wine for Fang Guangqi, then raised his own glass, "Let's toast to the official launch of the Dawn Project!"

The next day, Fang Guangqi woke up in the morning and felt a little disconnected. Yesterday's events came to his mind, and they seemed bizarre and unreal.

"Mr. Fang, you drank a lot yesterday, and it was Mr. Ren who helped you back home. Could you drink less next time?" Mrs. Fang said with some blame.

"Madam, if we move to the northern border area, would you be willing?" Fang Guangqi suddenly asked.

"What? Old Fang, what's wrong with you? Are you having a brain cramp?" Mrs. Fang came over and tried to touch his forehead, "Or are you still drunk?"

"I would rather not wake up, otherwise I will be troubled when I open my eyes." Fang Guangqi thought of the troubles in his school. Now students and teachers have begun to live a hard life. Even if life is not satisfactory, everyone can still endure it. However, from time to time, the measures taken by the authorities have stimulated the students a lot. Many times, the anger can no longer be suppressed.

"Mr. Fang, the price of rice and flour went up again yesterday, but your salary didn't increase accordingly. Life is getting more and more difficult," Mrs. Fang complained casually.

Before the war, as a professor, Fang Guangqi lived a comfortable life, basically providing for his wife and children with food and clothing.

But now, the country is in trouble, and his salary as a professor has been reduced sharply. Although his salary is still 350 yuan per month, before the war, he received a full ocean, and now it is legal currency. Compared with the ocean, the net value of this 350 yuan is only about 13.6 oceans. The family's food, clothing and daily expenses are all on it, so it's strange that life can be easy.

Even so, if there was no temptation from Ren Zhong, Fang Guangqi would still be able to hold on. After all, the whole family can still have enough to eat, which is much better than most people.

But when Ren Zhong's eight major items were taken out, it was like a cat's claw scratching his heart, which made Fang Guangqi unable to bear it. He was not seeking to leave a name in history, but as a scientific researcher, he was able to produce a leading product of this era. No matter where Ren Zhong got the information for this product, in China, this was something he had always dreamed of but could not get.

This is a major milestone achievement in domestic optics.

If I let this opportunity slip away and fail to realize it in my own hands, it will definitely be a great regret in my future life. "Madam, I'm serious. If our family moves to the border area, will you follow me?" Fang Guangqi suddenly grabbed Madam Fang's hand and said solemnly.

"Is it because of what Mr. Ren said yesterday?" Mrs. Fang was beautiful and intelligent, and she guessed the truth from a few clues.

"Yes, there is some relationship, but I'm not saying that I want to take you and your daughter to suffer. It's just that there is the job I have always dreamed of doing there, and Mr. Ren has also promised me that we will have no worries about food and clothing in the border area, and there will be people to pick us up along the way. I want to go." Fang Guangqi confessed.

"Mr. Fang, I'm just a woman and I don't understand any big principles. I just follow where you are. If you want to go, we mother and daughter will naturally follow you." Mrs. Fang found out that her husband was serious and said helplessly.

In the tavern, Ren Zhong waited for Fang Guangqi to come again, but this time Fang Guangqi was much more free and easy, as if he had let go of a mountain on his back.

I don’t have the heavy feelings I had the first time I came.

"Professor Fang, it seems you have made up your mind. These are the stations where you can get help along the way. Here, not only are there free meals, lodging and drinks, but you can also get their extra help, such as reporting news, etc. Whether you are a student or a colleague, you can take them away directly, and they will make proper arrangements." Ren Zhong smiled and handed him a note with the supply stations along the way on it.

"Also, I have one more thing to trouble you, Professor Fang. If I remember correctly, Professor Fang should still remember that outstanding student named Wu Jianxiong. She should have obtained a doctorate in America now. I have some things here. Professor Fang, please write a letter and tell her that if she wants to know the complete part of the information, she can come to the border area to find it."

"Are you talking about the physics genius, Wu Jianxiong, who is as capable as any man?" Fang Guangqi indeed had an impression of her. Although several years had passed, she still left a deep impression on him.

"Yes, it is this woman. We have several topics in physics that require her expertise. If she is willing to return to China, we hope to give them to her."

After Ren Zhong finished speaking, he took out more than ten pages of English materials.

"Fermi theory." Fang Guangqi could naturally understand English, but different fields are like different mountains. He read it for a while and felt that he could not understand the professional theories at all. However, it was roughly discussing some serious and difficult problems in Fermi theory, and there were some conjectures, but this part was vague. If the optical data he was given was the same, it was obvious that the data had been censored.

"Professor Fang just needs to tell Mr. Wu about the research purpose and method of the Dawn Project and the funding guarantee." Ren Zhong said, "If you decide to come back, please send a telegram to inform the Eighth Route Army Office in our temporary capital or someone Professor Fang is familiar with, and then tell us, and we will arrange an escort route from Hong Kong Island to the border area."

"Of course I am willing to introduce him." Fang Guangqi nodded and said, "If such a great talent can join this plan, I believe it will play a great role in promoting it. But I am a little curious, what benefits will such pure theoretical research bring to the Dawn Project mentioned by Mr. Ren?"

Fang Guangqi didn’t see anything surprising about Fermi’s theory. Of course, theoretical physics was still a bit too far away for him.
